Maxillaria juergensii
One of the smallest species in the
genus, M. juergensii produces clumps that are rarely more than
2" across. Flowers are produced one on each growth, but as the plants branch so much they can be very numerous
and the plants produce a nice effect. Flowers are a bit more than ½" across, very large for the size
of the plants.

Maxillaria schunkeana
The darkest of the maxillarias. Flowers are almost
black (actually a very, very dark purple-red), are about ¾" across and produced several at at a time,
each on its short individual flower spike.
Plants are also compact. Intermediate growers.

Oncidium nanum x sib select

mule-ear type leaves like O. lanceanum, but never get so big. Inflorescences are pendulous and
the 3/4" flowers are produced up to 100 per inflorescence on mature plants.
